Ridgway Colorado Wedding | Garrett + Ellerie

Some weddings just have a little extra energy to them—and this one absolutely did.

Garrett and Ellerie’s Ridgway Colorado wedding in May was one of those days that felt easy from the start. I got to photograph it alongside my good friend Jayna Rosentreter, which always makes the day even better. We have the best time together, and I’m so grateful to have a friend like her in this industry.

From the moment I met Garrett and Ellerie, it was clear how well they fit together. They’re both so kind, so fun, and just genuinely enjoyable to be around. Their wedding party matched that energy perfectly—the sweetest group of bridesmaids and groomsmen who were all in and ready to celebrate.

And Ellerie… she showed up. Her dress was everything—layers, texture, just the right amount of drama (in the best way). It had that fun, bold feel that matched her personality so well. She brought such great energy to the day, and getting to photograph that was a dream. Also, come to find out she’s a total badass electrician, which somehow made her even cooler.

The ceremony was incredibly beautiful. The mountains were so bright and clear that it made the backdrop look like a postcard.

And then came the plane

The day rolled right into the reception, and just when I thought it couldn’t get more fun, someone came up to me and said, “Hey—one of my buddies is a pilot, and he’s about to fly his plane right over us.”

Sure enough… here he comes.

Low. Like really low.

Everyone started cheering, looking up, pointing—it was one of those moments where you just stop and take it all in. Completely unexpected, totally unique, and something I know no one there will ever forget. Honestly one of the coolest reception moments I’ve ever experienced.

That’s the thing about weddings like this—every one is different, and this one definitely delivered. Between the people, the energy, and moments like that flyover, it was just such a fun day to be part of.

Garrett and Ellerie, you guys are such a blast and I loved being part of your day!

And Jayna—always the best days shooting alongside you.

It’s really hard to choose, but- the sunset photos of these two love birds might just be my favorite of the day!

Also, when the wedding guests are this gorgeous- you just gotta do a little mini photo-op on in the field.
